However, the savior here might be the internet as the vehicle for "free" speech. In this regard watch closely the dynamic between the USA and China re Google. Mr. Obama and the Congress have not been capable of maximizing their moment. So far, very disappointing. My inclination is to agree with Mr. Barison not Mr. Bariseaux.

Bank of America is going to get a lot further than the people looking for relief <em>from</em> them. Obama sums it up nicely, as usual. Let's see if/what Congress can deliver.

Human being have banded together since time immemorial, because there is strength in numbers, so people formed clubs (Sierra Club), associations (NAACP), political parties and corporations, both profit (IBM) and non-profit (AARP). Corporate speech can be limited only by infringing the free speech rights of flesh and blood human beings. Volumes of regulations outlining, none too clearly, what and when corporations can speak serve only to chill political discourse; better to shut up than risk fines and lawsuits. Corporations represent many different points of view; let a thousand voices compete. The case was correctly decided.
